Boards, Committees and Servant Leadership

Cartoon of two men looking at a wad of paper. One says, "We need to form a committee to decide who will pick up this trash."

When it comes to the balance of power, boards and committees can be tricky. Some believe their goal is to tell other people what to do. Others don’t have a clue how to get the ball rolling on tasks as simple as picking up some trash.

Quality Assured Sermons

Cartoon of a pastor saying, "I must remind you my sermons are recorded for quality assurance."

I wonder how differently I’d act if I knew every word I said was recorded? Would the quality of my words be assured? I’d like to think I would be fine with all the words I’ve said. Yet I know if someone recorded all the words I said yesterday, I would not be proud.

Dealing with Broken and Cracked People

Cartoon of one woman saying to another, "Sure we're all broken people, but Frank is just cracked!"

We all deal with stuff. Some of us deal with difficult, gut-wrenching stuff. Then there are others who react to difficulties in unconventional ways.

No-Shave November for Youth Pastors

Cartoon of a woman telling a bearded man, "The church bylaws ban youth pastors from participating in No Shave November."

Sometimes, a little facial hair can raise the ire of the local church lady. It’s not that it is spiritually offensive. I propose it is because the scruffy look reminds Eunice of her younger years when she dated her dear Grover.

Happy No-Shave November!

I drew this cartoon for the November, 2015 Church of God Newsletter.

Pumpkin Spiced everything

"But Pastor! Would you at least consider pumpkin spice communion wafers?"
Copyright ©2015 Kevin Spear
It appears 2015 is the year pumpkins spice has gone too far. More than one person has complained to me there is too much pumpkin spice in everything from muffins to pizza. There’s even Pumpkin Spice Halloween costumes!

While I love pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, pumpkin muffins and even a pumpkin spice latte, I would have to draw the line at communion wafers. Keep the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves away from them, thank you very much!
